Time to Vote: A webinar for civic-minded businesses in Pennsylvania
Event Information
About this Event
Voting is an essential right of all Americans and critical to the well-functioning of our democracy. However, many employees find themselves having to choose between voting and earning a paycheck. The Time to Vote project is mobilizing businesses to help more Americans to vote in November 2020, while also contributing to a national culture shift needed to increase civic health. As a business leader, you can help!
What Is Time to Vote?
Voter turnout in the U.S. is one of the lowest in the developed world. One of the most common reasons people give for not voting is that they’re too busy with the demands of work and life.
In response, Time to Vote (TTV) is a national, nonpartisan initiative for companies who want to ensure their employees can vote. Led by Patagonia, Levi Strauss, and PayPal, TTV launched in 2018 with over 400 companies. TTV helped contribute to the highest turnout for a U.S. midterm in four decades.
